Chapter 140 This case originated from this, and will also end from this!
The room became quiet.
Liu Shenwei's body trembled slightly.
This old man followed Sun Simiao to practice medicine for half his life, and he also saw a lot of ugliness.
But this is the first time I have heard of such a heartbreaking thing.
There are many ways to ask for medicine, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
The root cause is that the aristocrats who are at the top do not regard the lives of the people at the bottom as their fate.
Ming Chongyan's eyes were red, and he suddenly stood up and said: "Master left a box of relics, I'm going to get it!"
He turned into the backyard, and after a while he took out a locked box. He stretched out his hand and chopped it, and the lock broke with his inner strength.
Before opening it, he said sadly: "Master told me two things before he died of illness."
"The first thing is to pass down the recipe of Wuyun Dan and let the poor man refine it and present it to the saint, so as to gain the opportunity to be promoted."
"The second thing is that the master taught me a poisonous power and asked the poor Taoist to practice it diligently. Only when this power is fully developed can the relic be opened."
"Pindao finally understands what Master means!"
Li Yan also understood.
Previously, after Tubo's little Ming king, Kumarajiva, was cured of Wu Min's madness, he wanted to leave Chang'an, but was stopped halfway by Ming Chongyan.
This Taoist obviously used the power of Dan Yuan, but later he actually used the poison technique. Kumara was seriously injured and almost arrested.
Later, in great embarrassment, he hid in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Ci'en Temple.
It turns out that everything should be based on this old case.
When Ming Chongyan opened the box, he saw a lot of yellowed old paper inside.
Everything written on it is the testimony written by Lin Jianye, followed by the handwriting of illiterate villagers.
There are also some portraits of a group of people wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
The two leaders were Li Sichong and Dou Decheng.
Li Yan picked up the testimony and looked at it carefully, and found that his guess was roughly correct.
From the perspective of the Qingyang villagers, I first smelled a strange smell that day, coming from uphill.
Every villager who smelled the smell soon felt nauseated and confused.
Then the noble people from Beijing were so kind-hearted that they gathered every household together and distributed talisman water.
The villagers drank it.
Some may fall to the ground in pain, or their hands and feet may be flailing, or they may cry madly.
Those who drank the water first soon stopped moving, and the nobles were also frightened, ignored them, and quickly ran away.
But a few hours later, they suddenly broke into the village, raised their butcher knives, and chopped down everyone they saw.
In the end, he pretended to rob property and set fire to the house. When the officials from Dantu County arrived, they reprimanded him and took down the county magistrate directly.
These testimonies basically restored the entire murder case and added many details that Li Yan could not guess.
But it is a pity that if it were handed over to the Ministry of Justice, it would not be ignored at all.
Even if it is submitted to Dali Temple, it is difficult to get a response because of the Rashomon-like case file.
Li Yan was reading the testimony, while Ming Chongyan and Liu Shenwei were looking at the letter at the bottom of the box.
Ming Chongyan read it once and cried out: "Master!!"
After Liu Shenwei took it and looked at it, he burst into tears: "One thought can separate yin and yang!"
Li Yan looked at it last and couldn't help but sigh.
"Disciple, after seeing these testimonies, you should understand the truth of the Qingyang case."
"My teacher was driven by greed. I wanted to cling to the rich and powerful, but instead my fellow villagers were massacred, and everyone was harmed. Tens of thousands of deaths are not enough to atone for this crime!"
"The evil man is powerful. I am a humble person. It is difficult to redress my grievances. I can only practice poisonous skills. I will return to Chang'an one day and kill my enemy to avenge this great hatred!"
"It's just that I can't hold it anymore. I really can't hold it anymore..."
"Disciple, I taught you Wuyundan and Juedu Jin because of selfish motives."
"If you can use the Five Cloud Pills to win the favor of the saint in the future, then the saints of these two families will decline again, so I will kill them for my master."
"I can rest in peace even though I am under the Nine Springs!"
"Remember, two pills of Five Cloud Pills per month are far less harmful than Cloud Pills. Do not take more."
"If you see that the situation is not right, don't panic. People at that time didn't know the harm of Xuan Yao, so it's hard to doubt you."
"I regret not listening to Master Sun. I regret it!"
"Lin Jianye's last work"
…
There are mottled marks on the paper, which should be blood stains.
After gently wiping the suicide note, Ming Chongyan burst into tears.
When he was very young, his master taught him martial arts. Although he had already agreed with his father that he wanted to get an official position, he always tried his best when he was given instruction and never failed to deal with it.
His talent also surprised his master. It is said that he secretly practiced Danyuan Jin before he was thirty years old, and he was better than his master.
The joy I felt at that time came from my heart.
And every time Master talks about the past glory of his family, he is full of passion.
He also had a lot of longing for the revitalization of Menlin and his high position.
As a result, the master died young for this reason.
In the last two years of his life, he often vomited blood, suffered from inner pain, and felt worse than death.
He still had to grit his teeth and study the elixir recipe in the hope that his apprentice would be able to advance to a high position in the future and avenge this blood for him.
At this moment, Ming Chong took the suicide note into his arms, knelt down and bowed three times, his eyes firm.
Li Yan looked at Liu Shenwei and said, "Doctor Liu, can you please ask Master Sun for help in mitigating the harm of Wuyundan?"
Before doing this, Liu Shenwei would never agree to this request.
Sun Simiao has a weak temperament, he is strong without desire, and will not get involved in power struggles at all.
But thinking of Sun Simiao's high opinion of his junior brother, Liu Shenwei felt that after the master knew the truth, he would be willing to make an exception. He nodded and said: "I am willing to do my best to ask the master to come out!"
Li Yan was delighted: "Okay!"
His main purpose is to save the prince.
He doesn't expect to live a long life, after all, the prince's body has suffered too much, and Medicine King is not a cultivator.
What Li Yan hoped was that Sun Simiao's intervention would prevent the kind-hearted prince from dying suddenly in his early twenties like in history.
It's better to live longer.
"I'm going to ask Master for instructions!"
Liu Shenwei stood up and suddenly bowed deeply to Li Yan: "Li Jiyi, please forgive me for my junior brother's great hatred!"
Li Yan did not shy away. He accepted the gift and said one more word: "Okay!"
A word of promise is worth more than a thousand words!
Liu Shenwei left, and Li Yan and Ming Chongyan were left in the room.
Ming Chongyan looked at the portrait and knew Dou Decheng, but had never seen Li Sichong. He asked directly: "Li Jiyi, the two murderers of the Jiangnan murder case, this person is Dou Decheng, who is this person?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yan said: "Li Sichong."
Ming Chongyan said sadly: "Prime Minister Li Jingxuan's eldest son! No wonder! No wonder!"
Li Yandao: "Based on the testimonies and portraits left by your master alone, if the murderers were not Li Sichong and Dou Decheng, they could have been jailed! But now, even if there is enough evidence, they can escape the crime..."
The prime minister can share power with the emperor, and the power in Li Jingxuan's hands is enough to override the laws of the court.
Even if the evidence is conclusive, with the protection of this prime minister, Li Sichong can avoid death, or even get away with his cunning words.
As for Dou Decheng, after these years of management, this drug lord has already grasped the lifeline of Yundan.
Those who are greedy for the taste of elixirs, or have relatives in the family who need this medicine for pain relief, will inevitably use their connections to protect this person.
However, in Li Zhi's mind, the poisoning case of the imperial examination scholar had greatly damaged the court's face, and he would not tolerate poisonous pills affecting the court officials.
Attacking him with poisonous elixirs can kill him, but Li Sichong will be safe that way.
Ming Chongyan nodded: "I understand that this matter is too difficult, otherwise the master would not dare to redress his grievances and rely on Jiang Huzi's assassination methods..."
Li Yan said: "Although I abide by the law, I also admire Lin County Lieutenant's decisiveness. When an ordinary man was angry, blood spattered five steps. In terms of power, he was beyond his reach, so he practiced martial arts hard. When the poison was strong, he turned into the house and slapped him with one palm.
, happy grudges!"
"Although we cannot speak out for the people of Qingyang Village who died unjustly, the success rate is much higher. But it is a pity. Dou Decheng and Li Sichong are also prepared."
"Dou Decheng has bribed many gangsters over the years, even some fugitives in exile. He obviously has a guilty conscience and has tried to increase the number of defense forces around him as much as possible."
"Li Sichong was hidden by Li Shilang. Do you understand the reason?"
Ming Chongyan said sternly: "Li Jingxuan must have known the truth and was afraid that the incident would come to light, so he asked his son to keep a low profile. When the incident is completely over, if he wants to be promoted, he should not be promoted at will!"
Li Yan nodded: "Seeing the truth is one thing, catching the murderer is an even greater challenge!"
Ming Chongyan's expression became serious: "But I have no way out!"
"When Dou's Chamber of Commerce arrested Dou Decheng the day before yesterday, Dou Decheng was particularly concerned about Pindao's relationship with the Jiangnan murder case. Pindao is unknown, and he must have been deceived by him. He must be murderous."
"If Dou Decheng is allowed to escape this time, he and Li Sichong will not be able to let Pindao live, and our Ming family will also be implicated, just like the whole Dantu County in the past!"
Li Yandao: "That's true. Master Ming hasn't found Du Dan's account book yet?"
Ming Chongyan shook his head: "No, Pindao used the information from Meihua Internal Guard. Unfortunately, Dou Decheng hid it too deeply. Even his son Dou Jing did not disclose the location of the account books. So far, no clues have been found."
Li Yandao: "This is not surprising. I originally thought Dou Decheng was just selling poisonous pills. Only after I uncovered the truth about the Jiangnan murder case did I understand how deeply he was involved!"
Thinking of the conflict in the Dou Chamber of Commerce, Li Yan said coldly: "No wonder he resisted arrest and stubbornly resisted. Seeing that the situation was not good, he took the initiative to tell the story of Jiangnan. At the critical moment, Li Sichong and his son were also his talismans!"
"This man has a cunning mind and extremely quick reactions. Even the Plum Blossom Guards may not be able to catch him. After all, you just treated him as a businessman before."
Ming Chongyan smiled bitterly: "Yes, so Pindao's life is hanging by a thread, and he has to rely on Li Jiyi to save him this time."
He bowed deeply: "Li Jiyi, looking at the government and the public, you are the only one who dares to say that no matter what the background of the prisoner is, we will investigate to the end and make it true!"
"You have saved me once regarding the elixir, but this time the hatred between our teachers is so great that it will not end until we die, and you have to step in again!"
"I am willing to follow Rokuro to the death and accept my worship!!"
Li Yan stared at Ming Chongyan, received a bow from him, helped him up, and said the same serious word: "Okay!"
Ming Chongyan stood up and looked at Li Yan expectantly: "Liu Lang, what should we do?"
Li Yan said: "I see that every time you test the elixir, you have to smell it. Is it the smell of medicine?"
Ming Chongyan nodded: "The main thing is to judge the time of the finished elixir. If the elixir is freshly baked, it will have a strong medicinal smell. The longer it is left, the weaker the medicinal taste will be."
"Can you tell the time when it will be released? That would be great!"
Li Yan's eyes lit up and he asked again: "Is there any way for you to go into the palace and get some mysterious ointment? You don't need much, just can refine one or two cloud pills?"
Ming Chongyan whispered: "You don't need to go to the palace, I have it around me. This thing works wonders. I will secretly keep some after making alchemy."
As expected of you, you are very skilled in depriving the public of raw materials!
But this time, luckily Ming Chongyan did it.
Li Yan asked: "How many cloud pills can be made with the materials around you?"
Ming Chongyan thought for a while: "A small furnace is enough, but Liulang, why do you need to refine Yun Dan, a harmful thing?"
"Poppies are actually medicinal, but what really harms people is the vicious human heart. In this case, we will fight fire with fire!"
Li Yan said: "Chongyan, you can make a furnace of cloud elixirs and make the smell as strong as possible. It is best so that people who are not familiar with medicinal properties can see that this is a newly refined elixir. It is of great use to me!"
Although Ming Chongyan didn't know much about it and knew the danger of this matter, he nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Li Yan gave a few more instructions, picked up the cloud pill in the box, looked at the beautiful-looking pill, and said lightly:
"In this world, becoming an immortal by taking bait is ultimately a dream of immortality..."
"Real health care is always based on careful study of the human body and the way of doctors!"
"This case originated from this, and it will also end from this!"
